FedEX treats their employees well because of the threat of the union. I belong to a union now and say I could not work here without a union . That being said before this I worked for a German company for 20 years (in the US) and always said you didn't need a union there. I had better benefits and more job protection than some unionized company's. In fact workers at the time rejected unionization at other plants of the same company as well.
